Banana Cinnamon Waffles

Are you the type of person to peek into someone’s medicine cabinet? I totally am. In fact, I will slow to a near stop if I happen to drive past a family’s house at night who has all their blinds/curtains open and all their lights on. I just like to see how other people live, what they eat/drink/watch/do. It’s fascinating to me.

A peek inside someone’s closet, car, fridge, pantry, purse, iTunes, bookshelf can give away a lot about a personality. If someone were to check out your pantry, what would they surmise?

If someone were to look inside my freezer they would find a batch of these waffles, frozen and ready to be popped into the toaster for breakfast. Quick breakfasts don’t get much better than that. Freezing these waffles is super easy. Once you’ve finished cooking all the batter in the waffle iron, lay the waffles in an even layer on a baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching each other. Freeze until solid and frozen, about 30 minutes. Remove to a resealable zip-top bag. Reheat in microwave, toaster, or toaster oven.

Recipe Rundown
Taste: Slightly sweet, warm, nutty. Everything you’d want in a breakfast item.
Texture: When first out of the waffle maker they’re light and fluffy. If you freeze them and reheat in the toaster they become more crisp at the edges.
Ease: Really easy. Making the waffles is somewhat time-consuming because each set of 2 takes up to 4 minutes.
Appearance: Definitely not the worst thing to see when you first wake up!
Pros: Relatively guilt-free, can be frozen and reheat in toasted, tastes extra delicious with peanut butter slathered on top and dotted with fresh fruit.
Cons: None, really.
Would I make this again? I’ve got some in the freezer.

Oh my heavens! I made waffles for the very first time this weekend (we've never had a waffle maker before now) and now I discover I can freeze them?! Yipee!!
This recipe looks delicious; I'll give it a whirl this weekend. Thanks

Love the banana cinnamon combo. Sounds so yummy And I love freezing waffles! They're 1000x better than anything at the store and they're so easy! I really need to make some, because I had completely forgotten how much I love having frozen waffles on hand. These look delicious

I think I occasionally peak into another's items. It also fascinates me how others live. Now that I think about it, it's stalker-ish (no, it's just a high investigation of another person, yes that's what it is
time to post this onto weheartit….

Yael – I haven't tried to make pancakes from this batter but I think it could work if you lowered the amount of melted butter by a tablespoon or 2 (pancake batters generally have less fat than waffle batters). Good luck!

I made this and wrote about it here. Coming from a banana hater, these were some tasty waffles. My family, who are non banana haters thought there were rockin awesome. We'll be making these babies again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Flaxseed was cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000 BC. In the 8th century, King Charlemagne believed so strongly in the health benefits of flaxseed that he passed laws requiring his subjects to consume it. Now, thirteen centuries later, some experts say we have preliminary research to back up what Charlemagne suspected.^*
